Title: Improvements in and relating to Gear Cutting Machines.
Inventor: GREENWOOD THOMAS
IPC: B23B5/28
Filed: 1909-12-07
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 28,647. Greenwood, T. Dec. 7. [Addition to 4513/09.] Gear-cutting. - The tooth-curve generating- mechanism described in the parent Specification is modified. A slide 16, Fig. 2, reciprocating with the cutter slide, carries an adjustable inclined bar 17 acting through a bowl 18 and linkage 21 to reciprocate slides 6 carrying the blanks. A rack 16', carried by the slide 16, meshes with a pinion 27 connected to its shaft through a ratchet device, and gives a rotary motion to the blanks in one direction only. To permit feeding in the cutters by hand to the depth required without throwing out the generating-mechanism, the pinion 27, Fig. 6, may be locked to the disk 49 by a pin 47' operated from a rod 48 and rendering the ratchet-mechanism 50 inoperative.

Title: Improvements in Moulding Machines.
Inventor: BARKER JAMES
IPC: B22C11/00
Filed: 1910-02-02
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 2661. Barker, J. Feb. 2. Moulding-machines.-An arm turn-over moulding-machine is actuated by compressed air. The arms 4 carrying the flask are turned over, after ramming, from the position shown in Fig. 4 to the position shown in broken lines, by a piston 15 actuated from the air supply 25 through a threeway valve 28, which is turned to connect the cylinder 16 to the regulated exhaust cock 30 when the arm has passed the vertical. A ratchet engaging a toothed wheel 68 prevents the arm from springing back when it has passed the vertical, and this ratchet is reversed when it is desired to return the arm. The flask-receiving table 32 has one fixed support 45 and two movable supports 49 on a rod 48, Fig. 9, carried by weighted levers 47, which are clamped by the action of a spring 57 and released to adjust themselves to the irregularities of the flask by the action of air admitted by the three-way valve 56 through the tube 55 to the cylinder 53. The valve 56 also admits air to the cylinder 41 containing oil or other liquid, which is forced through the valve 42 to the cylinder 37 having a piston connected to the table 32, which is thus raised. When the flask supports have adjusted themselves to the flask, the valve 42 is closed, the cylinders 41 and 53 are exhausted through the valve 56 and muffler 63, the valve 66 is opened to start a vibrator on the arm 4, the flask is detached from the arms, and the valve 42 is opened slightly to draw the flask. In a modification, the arms 47 may be clamped by means of a hand-wheel 79, Fig. 11, and released by a spring. For large flasks, two machines may be placed side by side, and coupled up to operate synchronously.

Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 3295. Jones, A. R. Feb. 10. W a s h e r s. - A coach-screw or the like used for securing flat-footed rails to sleepers, w o o d e n breastsummers to steel joists, &c. is supported on the side opposite to t h e rail flange &c. by a washer plate B, which is bevelled on the upper side at the same inclination as the flange. The washer has a semicircular notch to receive the shank of the screw C, and a V-shaped rib on the underside which is pressed into the surface of the sleeper. The inner side of the washer is of less depth than the bevelled part, and extends the bearing- surface of the washer on the sleeper. Specification 19,264/89, [Class 104, Railways &c.], is referred to.
Patent GB-191003982-A (GB)
IPC: B61L23/16

Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 3982. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 17. Electrical s y s t e m s, automatic.-In signalling-systems in which the track rails are divided into insulated sections, the track relays are polarized and are connected to the rails on each side of the insulating - material, and the insulated rail-sections are joined diagonally by resistances. In the case of long sections, the track battery is connected across the rails at the middle of the block, and two relays are employed, one at each end of the block, to control the signal for that block. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the track batteries are connected, around the insulation joints. If the section is clear of trains, the battery B' supplies energy to the circuit including the resistance D<2>, the upper rail A', the relay C', the resistance D', and the lower rail A<1>. The battery B by a similar circuit also supplies current in the same direction through the resistance D'. When a train is on section A<1>, the current from the battery B<1> is cut off from the relay C' which receives reverse current from the battery B, through the axles of the train, and the coils of the relay which is connected in shunt across the resistance D'. This current produces a reverse torque which tends to open the relay as soon as the train enters the section A<1>. Failure of an insulation shortcircuits either a relay or a track battery.

Title: Improvements in Belt Driving-mechanism.
Inventor: VERNON PERCY VENABLES
IPC: F16H7/18
Filed: 1910-03-09
Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 5872. Vernon, P. V. March 9. Driving machines.-Relates to variable-speed belt transmission-gearing applicable to verticalspindle drilling-machines, and of the type comprising driving and driven pulleys, only one of which is stepped, connected by a belt which also passes round delivery and return idlers, and consists in providing one of the idlers with steps corresponding in number with the said transmission stepped pulley, in order to aline the belt and to reduce, and in some cases dispense with, belt adjustment for tension in changing the speed. As shown in Fig. 1 the drum C on a shaft D drives the stepped transmission pulley A on a drill &c. spindle B at right-angles thereto, by means of a belt E passing round delivery and return idlers, the delivery idler having a number of steps G, H corresponding to the stepped pulley A and arranged to deliver the belt correctly thereto. The return idler F and the driving-drum C may be axially slidable, or are of sufficient breadth to allow the belt to shift laterally in driving different steps. The step of the idler may be adjustable either separately or together to prevent the edges of the belt from fouling, or to bring the belt into proper alinement. As shown in Fig. 1 the stepped idler may be mounted in a forked arm J, which may be rotated through a semicircle in a socket K, being secured in position by a pin M. It may be adjusted horizontally to regulate the tension. The steps of the idler may be slidable either separately or together. In the latter case as shown in Fig. 6, the spindle P- upon which the idler is rotatably mounted is axially adjustable in a bracket N, being secured by a clamping- screw R. The bracket N is adjustably secured by a clamping-screw O to the arm L. An arm S prevents displacement of the belt, and guides T prevent it from being placed upon a step that is not in correct alinement. The proportions of the pulleys may render unnecessary any adjustment of the idler.

Abstract: 22,627. Turbo Amalgamator & Extraction Co., and Lockwood, A. A. Oct. 13. Lixiviating and precipitating.-In apparatus for extracting precious metals, the pulp or solution is circulated by a pump e, or by an air blast introduced through a nozzle l, or by both pump and air blast, through an amalgamating- vessel a in which are revolving copper plates. The surfaces of the plates pass through or near to the horizontal axis about which they revolve, and the plates lift the mercury and allow it to drop through the pulp or solution, the surfaces of the plates being also thereby kept in a state of efficiency. The plates may be carried by the vessel itself, or by a rotary shaft, the vessel then remaining stationary. For treating a large charge, a tank or reservoir f may be included in the circulatory system. The contents of the tank may be agitated by mechanical stirrers or by air jets introduced through nozzles n. A solvent such as potassium cyanide may be added to the pulp, and the dissolved metal may be precipitated in the amalgamating-vessel by chemical precipitants such as pieces of unamalgamated zinc or aluminium, or by electrolysis, or by chemical precipitants and electrolysis. An electric current may be employed whether a solvent be added to the pulp or not. The current is led into and out of the apparatus at suitable points p.
